Passenger and crew safety and comfort are of critical importance to airlines. That’s why, as avionics technology becomes increasingly sophisticated, commercial operators of all types are looking for weather radar with fully automatic worldwide hazard detection.
You can't plan for everything, especially weather. However, avionics innovations are coming to the fore that make flying more predictable. New features in the cockpit are improving safety, by significantly reducing pilot workload and enhancing weather-detection capability. Pilots are seeking true hazard avoidance systems, enabling them to detect a variety of weather phenomena that occur around the globe and allowing flight crews to better plan long range, real time tracks around significant weather.
New hazard detection products automatically adjust weather detection parameters for variations caused by time of day, time of year and geographic position and then use advanced radar threshold technologies to adjust the radar returns to more accurately display actual thunderstorm threats.
In this informative and timely webinar, sponsored by Aviation Today and Rockwell Collins, you’ll learn about the latest advancements in weather hazard detection systems and how they can affect the safety – and bottom line – of your operations.
Rockwell Collins pioneered solid-state weather radar technology for the commercial aviation industry. It was the first company to provide solid-state radar, ground clutter suppression and Doppler turbulence detection and was a leader in the development of forward-looking windshear detection.
In this webinar, you’ll learn:
- What are the leading-edge capabilities in weather hazard detection?
- How do these capabilities differ from the status quo?
- Which OEMs are embedding the latest weather hazard technology in their aircraft?
- What are the features and benefits of Rockwell Collins’ MultiScan Hazard Detection™ System? How are these qualities emblematic of “next generation” radar?
- How does MultiScan make aircraft safer and more efficient?
- What are the major aircraft platforms for which MultiScan is certified?
- What are the leading causes of unexpected turbulence encounters, and what new avionics technologies help pilots cope with this dangerous phenomenon?
- In the area of weather hazard detection, what new innovations can we expect in the near future?
…and lots more!
You and your entire team can take part in this unique conference brought to you by Aviation Today.
